ATL’s Top Black-Owned Vegan Restaurants & Food Trucks
For years, Atlanta was pretty much a vegan and vegetarian food desert. But now, it’s never been easier to eat plant-based thanks to amazing options all around the city. Here are some of our favorite minority owned vegan spots!

ATL Food Truck Park
You can find Atlanta’s only vegan/vegetarian food truck park over on Howell Mill Road, featuring awesome small businesses like Big Fat Vegan food truck, No Meat Eats, and Plant Based Kitchn. It’s all of Atlanta’s best vegan eats in one place!
First Batch
First Batch has vegan and non-vegans alike absolutely raving! Their ice cream is something they’re especially known for, but everything is phenomenal, super fresh and made from scratch. You should also order up their cinnamon rolls!
GAS Food Truck
Couple Kelli Marshall and Jeff Fleming started GAS Food Truck together. Their creatively named, cannabis themed eats take inspiration from Fleming’s hometown of NYC. The “How High” chopped cheese is a bestseller–cheesy, “meaty,” goodness with perfectly spiced sidewinder fries. Yum!
Local Greens Atlanta
Local Greens is more than just a restaurant, it’s a place with a mission. Not only is their food mouthwatering good, it’s also all pretty much good for you. And owner Zak Wallace opened up this place on the Westside with health in mind and out of a desire to bring affordable deliciousness to the food desert on the Westside. The menu is mostly plant-based, though there are some healthy seafood items on the menu as well. You’ll love their delicious rosemary and cajun air-fried fries, their vegan cauliflower tacos, and their classic beyond cheeseburger!
Plant Based Pizzeria
Owners Paul Jordan and Marisa Acoff have been killing the vegan game with Plant Based Pizzeria. It’s already been frequented by Atlanta celebrities like Jermaine Dupri and Keri Hilson, and it only takes one slice to see why. You can also order a gluten-free crust!
Slutty Vegan
You can’t talk about vegan food in Atlanta without talking about the phenomenon that is Pinky Cole’s Slutty Vegan. She totally struck gold with her Slutty Vegan concept, and the hype is real! This isn’t your bland salad, carrot juice type of vegan spot—it’s cheat day, cheesy, tasty, craveworthy vegan food you’ll dream about all week long. Pinky Cole was serving impossible burgers way before they were cool, and just one taste of her creation and you’ll see why the lines are so long and pretty much every ATL celeb has been spotted here. Be sure to also check out Bar Vegan in Ponce City Market, her newest venture opening up this month!
Tassili’s Raw Reality Cafe
We never thought we’d be passionate about a kale wrap, but then we tried Tassili’s. Their wraps are humongous and packed with flavor and hugely addicting, drawing lines and a real lunch rush day after day at their Westside location. The Punany Wrap is a total winner!

V Taste Cakes
Young business owner Jasmyn Reddicks has struck cake gold with her vegan cakes that are absolute works of art! Featuring spectacular designs and classic flavors, V Taste Cakes is the perfect place to check out next time you are hosting a birthday celebration with some vegan friends in attendance. The red velvet cake is extra dreamy–a total crowd pleaser.
WTF Food Truck
Didn’t think you could eat vegan and enjoy junk food? Think again. WTF (Wonderful Tasting Food) Food Truck is proving plant-based is every bit as delicious as you could ever possibly imagine. With epic meals like chili cheezburgers, unchikn strips, and breakfast sandwiches, this is the place to go for all your meatiest cravings but without the actual meat.
